Question
The conductivity of sodium chloride at 298 K has been determined at different concentrations and the results are given below:
| Concentration/M | 0.001 | 0.010 | 0.020 | 0.050 | 0.100 |
| 102 × κ/S m−1 | 1.237 | 11.85 | 23.15 | 55.53 | 106.74 |
Calculate `∧_"m"`for all concentrations and draw a plot between `∧_"m"`and `"c"^(1/2)`. Find the value of `∧_"m"^0`.
Solution
| Concentration (M) | C1/2 (M1/2) |
κ(S m−1) | κ(S cm−1) | `∧_"m" = (κ xx 1000)/"M"` (S cm2 mol−1) |
| 0.001 | 0.0316 | 1.237 × 10−2 | 1.237 × 10−4 | `∧_"m" = (1.237 xx 10^-4 xx 1000)/0.001` = 123.7 |
| 0.010 | 0.100 | 11.85 × 10−2 | 11.85 × 10−4 | `∧_"m" = (11.85 xx 10^-4 xx 1000)/(0.010)` = 118.5 |
| 0.020 | 0.141 | 23.15 × 10−2 | 23.15 × 10−4 | `∧_"m" = (23.15 xx 10^-4 xx 1000)/0.020` = 115.8 |
| 0.050 | 0.224 | 55.53 × 10−2 | 55.53 × 10−4 | `∧_"m" = (55.53 xx 10^-4 xx 1000)/(0.1050)` = 111.1 |
| 0.100 | 0.316 | 106.74 × 10−2 | 106.74 × 10−4 | `∧_"m" = (106.74 xx 10^-4 xx 1000)/(0.100)` = 106.7 |
When the straight line is drawn backwards, it meets the `∧_"m"`axis at 124.0 S cm2 mol−1, which is the value of `∧_"m"^0`.
